Maundy Thursday – Congregación de Mena

One of the most iconic moments of Semana Santa takes place this Thursday. On Maundy Thursday, several processions move through the city, but one stands out in particular: the Congregación de Mena.

Famous for its connection to the La Legión, this procession is a powerful and emotional experience. The legion arrives in Málaga with a large spectacle and marches through the streets singing “El Novio de la Muerte,” creating one of the most striking and unforgettable scenes of the entire week. A unique blend of military tradition, religion, and atmosphere—this is a must-see if you’re in the city.
